Abstract:Cation-π and charge-transfer (CT) interactions are pervasive with significant implications in the fields of chemistry, materials science, and biology. However, much less is known about the construction of interfacial assemblies based on the two interactions. Here, by combining cation-π and CT interactions between an acceptor molecule, dicationic naphthalenediimide, and an aromatic donor, pyrene-terminated poly-L-lactic acid, we report the generation of supramolecular complex surfactants (SCSs) in situ at the t… Show more
